Parents flying on Etihad Airways will have a fleet of Mary Poppins at their disposal to calm irritable children – and irritated passengers.

ETIHAD Airways, the United Arab Emirates-based carrier, has just announced the launch of its new Flying Nanny service, an in-flight nursery that will be staffed by flight attendant nannies trained out of Norland in England, a childcare nursing college that churns out real-life Mary Poppins – minus, perhaps, the rum punch medicine.
